What We Need2K Publishing Tech delivers innovative solutions to our studios and supports all of their technology needs to ensure they can focus on building incredible games. The Director of Program Delivery will build, lead, and scale the technical program management practice that supports our growing portfolio of studios. This leader owns the strategic direction for how Technology engages with studios - translating business priorities into program structure, hiring and developing a high-performing team, and establishing the operating rhythms (governance, reporting, escalation paths) that let delivery scale with the business.
The Director will partner directly with 2K Technology, Studio, and Publishing leadership to shape roadmaps, resolve cross-functional conflicts, and ensure delivery commitments are met across an evolving studio portfolio. This role requires someone equally comfortable setting strategy in the room with executives and rolling up their sleeves to unblock a program in flight - with the people leadership skills to build a team others want to join and grow within.
